I’ve always been a big fan of meaningful ornaments.  Don’t get me wrong – I’m all for ornaments just because they are pretty, but I LOVE the ones that have a story behind them – they are the ones that you unpack every year and can actually hear an “awwww”.  Every year, I buy each of my children and my husband (and this year – Dixie Dog) an ornament that reflects something about their past year.   This is our first Christmas in the new house – I was soooo excited when I bought this ornament!!   This year, Kristen got a little volleyball player ornament, Jake got a Ghostbusters ornament, Johnny received an Indiana Jones ornament and Leah received a Strawberry Shortcake ornament.  John’s ornament it 2 little fishes in a bowl kissing – it’s too cute!!  Ideally, I’d LOVE to take a pic of each of ornaments and journal about their history – where I bought them and why. 

I’d like to challenge you all – to take a picture of one of your favorite or a new ornament and tell the story behind it.    Merry Christmas!
